Re: MPG Video Format

[Stephen Samuel <samuel@bcgreen.com>]

Are  you trying to just burn the file to a CD to move it to
another machine (or just have an offline copy)? or are you
trying to creat a Video CD that can be played on a dvd player?

If the former, then you should be creating a *DATA* cd project,
not a video CD project.   If the latter, then you need to have your
mpg file in a format appropriate to creating a VCD, and I have no
idea how to do that -- I'm just barely managing to burn DVD videos.
